To' (itt who/n '[5 'moy concern:

lie. itloiown that. l7 .lons ll, lllNizs, a

'citizen ol the llnited States, residing at'.

,\llen, in the county otl llori'y and State ot' i iii it South Carolina, have invented certain new aud uselul luiprovi'nients in Standard'- struction to receive and slidahly support the holder 3 hut as illustrated said heain has y llat. side t'aces and tlie side portions or arins llolders. oll which the lollowing is a specitication7 rel'erenie heilig' had to the acconipanyino' drawings.

i\"ly iniention relates to improvements in holders or socli'cts lor standards used oin erative position a suitahte fastening' ineafn's wagons, cars, and other vehicles.

Une ohject ol" the invention is to provide. y a device ot' this character which will rigidly ysupport. the standard or stake when in oper ative position or which niay he shifted outwardly to more the standard away troni the i load so that the standard inay he readily reiuoved when it. is desired tto unload the vehicle.

t' are toi-ined willi longitudinal slots 7, S, to receive transverse supporting' and {uiding' holts .l, lt), arranged in the said heani. 'l`his sliding nioveinent; otl the holder 3 pei'- niits the standard 2 to he inoved outwardly away t'roni the end ofthe heain when it is desired to unload the vehicle, and in order to retain the holder in its retracted or opis i'irovided. 'l`his lmeans consists preferahly ol' a latch hai' ll having' its inner end pivoted at l2 on one. ot the side portions or arnis t3 and its l'ree end torined on its bottoni edge with a notch or shoulder 13 to engage the transverse holt or pin lt). 'lhe latch Vll is adapted to di'op h v gravit)r into engageinent with this keeper holt,- oi' pin l() hut to Another ohject is to provide a device ot? this character which has a siniple and pracl tical fastening means l'or retaining it in op erative position.

l/Vith the ahove and other objects in View, the invention consists of the novel construetion, combination and arrangen'ieiit, ote parts l'iereinat'ter tully described and clainied, and

illustrated in the accompanying drawii'igs, k

in whichm prevent accidental disengagement of the latch tfi'oin it7 l provide a locking dog 't4 in the t'orin ot' a platt` pivotedat its upper end l5 on the iueinher t3 and adapted to have its lower end swing into a noti-.h or shoulder lt t'ornied in the upper edge ot' the 'lree end ot' the latch lever.

'ln operation when the parts are in operative position shown in Fig. Vl the engageinent, olf the latch ll with its keeper ltie'ure l. is a iersiective view ol' a heani ha ving' niy improved holder or socket :ip-- plied thereto and containing' a standard;

Fin'. 2 is a side elevation showing the parts g in released position and the standard res' moved; Fig. isa top plan view; and Vig.

/t is a detail vertical transverse seetioiail view.

ln the drawings l denotes one ol'v the transverse heains ot'. a wagon. car, or other 1 vehicle7 L) denotes a standard or static`r and denotes niy improved holder or socket.y 'lhe holder is adapted to receive the lower i;

end otithe standard .5 and it is inounted loi' ii'iovi-,nicnt toward and t'roni the end oll the tieain l on which it is niounted. Said lioldei` t i may ne ot any desired shape l'nitin the enihodiinent illustrated it is eonstrui'aed troin i a inetal plate hy heading it into tl-forni. tts etosed end L'lprovides a socket for the reduced shouldered lower end 5 oftii standard. and its inwardly projecting side portionsl or arms t3 are adapted to Slidahty engage the opposite sides of the beam 1. rlrhis heani may, ot? course, be made of wood or i'netat and o't any desiredform and coni i t l l() will prevent, the iutivard slidingniove nient oll the'standard holding' ineniher i and the locking dog' 'lt will etl'eclively retain the latch in operative position; hut when the dog l-l is swung` upwardly and out.- \vardl and the latch level' llv is swung' upwardly out ot engagement, with the keeper or holt, llt the holder il inay he slid outwai'dly and longitiulinally on the heani vl to move the statte. 2 away troin the load on the vehicle and conseipiently perniit of the easy reinoval ott' the standard i! l'roin the holder.

ll'aving thus descrihed'tho invei1tion,wliat is claiined is:

l.. ln a device of the character described, the eonihination with a heain, of a standard holding' ineinher mounted on the end of Said heain lor sliding movement longitudinally thereof, a keeper upon the heain, and a latch pivoted on said nieniher and having a shouldered portion to engage said keeper.

2. .ln a device ot the character described, the eoinhination with a heain, of a standard holding' nieinher inounted on the end ot said heain 'for sliding,l inovetnent longitudinally thereof, a keeper upon the brani7 a latch pivoted on said memhei` and having a shouldered portion to engage said keeper, and a dog plvoted on said member to retain the latch in operative osition.

3. In a device of the character described,

fthe combination with a beam, transverse supporting and guidin pins therein, a U# shaped member adapte to receive a standard in its closed end and having its side arms 'formed with longitudinal sots to receive said transverse pins, a latch lever pivnesses.
